202: Enjoy the Shit Out of Your Food with Shira Barlow, R.D.

In this episode, I sit down with Shira Barlow, registered dietician, food therapist, and host of the Good Instincts podcast, to discuss all things nutrition and creating a healthy relationship with food in today’s world. Shira shares how her relationship with food has evolved from childhood to present day, how she became a food therapist, and what she has consistently observed that her clients struggle with across the board. We talk about the issue with moral licensing and labeling food, why self-compassion is essential for overcoming food obsession and restriction, how understanding willpower and taking out decision fatigue can set you up for success with making healthy, positive food choices, and much more.Key Takeaway / Points:How Shira’s relationship with food has evolved from childhood to present dayShira’s path to becoming a food therapist, from her first job in the entertainment industry to her current nutrition practiceWhat balancing blood sugar actually meansOn the issue with moral licensing and labeling foodHow Shira frames indulgences and advocates for a no-food-is-off-limits approachWhy self-compassion is essential for overcoming food obsession and restrictive patternsOn the importance of knowing which season of life you’re inOn the perception of beauty in today’s society, Ozempic, and thin praise trendsOn the slippery slope of commenting on peoples’ bodies, and the one comment you can’t go wrong withOn the concept of willpower around food and reducing decision fatigue to set yourself up for successThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
